From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ventoy and...
Clonezilla, (custom) ArchISO, Tails
the stuff you might need to safe other people's PCs sigh ...
HBCD_PE, Windows 11

one of the usual Rescue ISOs, GParted Live.
Bonus points for Ventoy's ISO partiiton doubling as simple storage.
PS: Thanks for the reminder to update some of them again.
